Setting the Time Code

Setting the Time Code
In mode, the camera generates a time code signal and records it with the recorded clips. The time code
signal can be output from the MON. terminal, REC OUT terminal, HDMI OUT terminal and TIME CODE terminal.
88
In mode, the time code embedded in the clip being played back can be output from the REC OUT
terminal or MON. terminal.
You can also synchronize the camera's time code with an external device (A 93, 95).
Depending on the frame rate used, you may be able to select between a drop frame an non-drop frame time
code signal (A 89). The default mode varies depending on the country/region of purchase and, though the time
code display style is different for DF and NDF, in this section the NDF display style is used for simplicity's sake.

Selecting the Time Code Mode

[Preset]: The time code starts from an initial value you can select in advance. The default initial time code
is 00:00:00.00.

[Regen.]: The camera will read the selected recording media and the time code will continue from the last
time code recorded on the recording media. The time code runs only while recording so clips

[¢ Picture/Terminals Setup] > [Time Code] > [Run]
